In every age a few organizations rise above others to “bring fire” to the world—to change the way we live. These pioneering organizations include Ford, IBM, General Electric, Bell Labs, Microsoft, Dell, Amazon.com, and many others. These and other organizations yet unborn answer the call to move forward, to risk the unknown and find the needed solutions to daunting problems.
In Pioneering Organizations, Davis explores the forces that converge to create such earth-shaking organizations and to energize their ascendency. He also examines the reasons for their decline. Based on this analysis, Davis identifies the factors that must exist to develop and sustain pioneering organizations.
Every organization can rise to pioneering levels and achieve the extraordinary performance that flows therefrom. The forms of pioneering are not important. What is important is a total commitment to excellence and moving ahead. As the 21st century dawns and the global marketplace continues to expand, nothing less than a commitment to pioneering new and better ways of doing things will serve.
Larry Davis is CEO of Organizational Effectiveness Consulting. For more than 25 years he has worked with Fortune 500 companies. He is the author of Winning Ways: A Management Simulation and Straight Talk: Improving Communications in Your Organization.
